About Living Lotus™ Education

Living Lotus Education was born from a belief that meaningful learning brings lived experience and research together. Our instructors bring lived experience, community connections, and professional knowledge to their teaching. Many belong to the communities they teach about, while others have meaningful connections through family, relationships, or work within those communities. These perspectives help keep our courses grounded in research and the everyday realities of people’s lives. We value education that reflects the complexity of people’s lives and stays connected to the communities it serves. 

We believe in interdisciplinary learning and the possibilities that emerge when people from different fields share what they know. You’ll find instructors from a range of backgrounds and career paths, including licensed marriage and family therapists, licensed professional clinical counselors, and naturopathic doctors. Each brings a different perspective, creating opportunities to learn across disciplines and expand how we understand and support one another. 

Accessibility is part of that commitment. Select courses qualify for Living Lotus Education’s pay-what-you-can program, allowing participants to contribute an amount that fits their financial circumstances. We want more people to have access to learning that supports their work, their communities, and their own lives.
